Bath Salts Drug Abuse (Video) – “The man is strapped onto a gurney and restrained, yet he is singing, making faces and twitching. “You know where you’re at?” a paramedic asks him, but Freddy Sharp can’t answer. He was, he explained later, off in his own world after overdosing on synthetic drugs known as “bath salts.” “I’d never experienced anything like that,” Sharp told CNN’s Don Lemon. “It really actually scared me pretty bad.” He said he was hallucinating about being in a mental hospital and being possessed by Jason Voorhees, the character from the “Friday the 13th” movies…”.* Are bath salts turning people into zombies and cannibals leading to a recent slate of attacks?

Willie Mays Aikens: Safe at Home
Event on 2012-10-30 20:00:00
MainStage, ’62 Center 1000 Main St, Williams College, Williamstown, MA 01267, USA
Greg Jordan '92 will talk with baseball legend Willie Mays Aikens about Jordan's new book, Willie Mays Aikens: Safe at Home. "An intimate portrait of a tortured player, this biography culls interviews, letters, and the personal account of baseball legend Willie Mays Aikens. Touted from a young age as the next Reggie Jackson, Aikens' promising career quickly turned disastrous when he fell into drug abuse and was ultimately sentenced to the longest prison sentence ever given to a professional athlete in a drug case. Not only an exploration of baseball and culture in the 1980s, this book also delves into the United States justice and penal systems." ~ Triumph
